How does DeSantis play outside of the Land of Swamps and Falling Frozen Iguanas?

That's right. Nothing here in Florida except swamps, falling frozen iguanas, a budget surplus, no state income tax, sunshine, white sand beaches and a haven for Yankee escapees.

24 months is a very long time in politics.

But IMO they are all controlled opposition.

It looks like the folks here are taking the bait - starting to divide between Trump and DeSantis nicely - by the time Nov 2024 comes around, we will be in total disarray - SSDD

Many Trump allies are trying to project DeSantis as a swamp creature somehow akin to Trumo’s actual appointees, but DeSantis’s true achilles heel based on how he has actually governed is that he is far to the right of most Republicans, including Trump, which may not perform that well in the general election.

I’d love to see someone that far right win, but it won’t be easy.

The biggest dem hopefuls are Newsome, Biden and Hillary. The easiest grudge match to setup for the media and wannabe handlers/groomers (Dick Chenny/Karl Rove) is between these three.

“The Case Against Donald Trump 2024”
and this one
“The Case Against Ron DeSantis 2024”

Seems like there’s one missng

I will vote Donald Trump and if he wants DeSantis that is fine with me. I will not support DeSantis for President unless he has Trump’s endorsement. Trump has done the heavy lifting for the GOP and could only be taken out by the corrupt political parties who want to keep their personal gravy trains rolling along. As of now, Florida needs DeSantis and DC needs Trump. At this point in time I believe that the poem Trump used to recite at rallies about the frog and Scorpion applies to DeSantis and those politicos who make a very good living from being involved in politics.

Here's the question DeSantis needs to answer: “How do you win in Pennsylvania, Michigan, New Hampshire, Georgia, North Carolina, and Wisconsin?

Uh, cheat harder than the democraps? Not sure I see any other way, since no one seems too interested in actually fixing the voting processes that are enabling rampant election fraud.

All in all, a very comprehensive and fairly objective by Kurt Schlichter, hits all the bases, sprinkled with the usual dose of insults towards all those people who deserve to be insulted. Calling Gillum "the naked drug guy" and referring to Fetterman & Biden as "drooling mutants" made me laugh out loud.

The biggest point he does make about the practicality of DeSantis running for POTUS in 2024 is winning the usual battleground states, although that is also going to be a large obstacle for Trump, as well. He also makes good points about the motives behind some of the less desirable political creatures that say they support DeSantis, points that we would do well to heed if we don't want to see Biden (or whatever Marxist puppet gets appointed) in 2024.

Bottom line is that November 2024 is two years away -- an eternity in politics. And there is a lot of work to be done between now and then.

He already said he’s NOT running!!! geesh......PLUS his 3 kids are VERY small.

I think Trump will try to run on a “unity” ticket. He will tone down his rhetoric and choose a running mate that some democrats will even find appealing. The tone of the campaign will be “This is not about republicans or democrats. It’s about saving the country.”
